  Slim,

  Went to the Plaza for the first time in 1984, the year they changed
  the
  taste of Coke. My then short lived boss was the Chairman of the
  Coca-Cola
  Bottlers Association. They were about a week or so into the "New
  Coke" and
  the trip was very unpleasant. Second trip - circa 1994, I flew a good
  jet
  to KC to replace a broken one and babysat the broken one for two
  days. I
  led (misled) my crew to the Plaza and closed it down. In an attempt
  to flag
  down a cab, I waved at the first car that approached with a light on
  top.
  Whoops! The female cop wasn't impressed with my ability to jump into
  the
  middle of the street at 2 am. We survived the experience and I've
  always
  had a special place in my heart for the city ever since. Hope your
  stay is
  just as enjoyable!

  Brad
